Aicha (may Allah be pleased with her) reported: the messenger of Allah ﷺ said :
“
O Aicha, If I wished, mountains of gold would go with me. An angel came to me whose waist was equal [in size] to the Ka’ba, and he said: “Your Lord sends His greetings of peace to you and says: If you wish, a Prophet-Servant, or if you wish, a Prophet-King.”. He [the prophet ﷺ] said : then I looked toward Gabriel [asking for his advice] and he signaled to me to humble myself. So I said : “a prophet-servant”. Aicha said : After that, the messenger of Allah ﷺ would not never eat while reclining saying: “I eat as a servant eats, and I sit as a servant sits”
